@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotOK, here's what I'm not getting about the budget debate. The richest decile is enormously richer than anyone else, AND there's been a substantial transfer of wealth from the middle to the richest quintile since 2008. But no one is talking about using redistributive taxes to rebalance either of these issues.

I dunno. kinda a "know your rights" / "they should teach this more in school" kind of situation? like I took basic finance, entrepreneurship classes. I vaguely get the idea of having a second independent inspector look at a house.
I kinda get the idea of what politician I prefer, or what politician would be ineffective, or have no chance in hell

@DodoTheDev@front-end.socialI just found my first article written by an AI (I believe). I'm fairly certain it's that, because it repeats the full name of the product every time it mentions it (which is about once every paragraph), and it doesn't actually tell you anything about the item, it just spouts general purchase advice such as :
"Always read reviews about the items you want to buy" etc.
Clearly an article SEO'd to hell for traffic. Shame. This was my favourite bit though:

@antiall3s@kolektiva.social"An interesting connection is the one between billionaires and the far Right. Millionaires, billionaires, and even most far Right politicians don’t give a shit for Jesus or abortion or any of that. They don’t have souls, they’re banking on Hell being a fiction, and they know they can get their abortions whether it’s legal or not. What the extreme Right voting bloc provides them, however, is a minority large enough to provide a feasible path to electoral victory, given enough gerrymandering, voter suppression, xenophobic media coverage, and social media conspiracy theories. They tie their economic agenda (which allows short-term profits from fossil fuel investment, price-cutting in production standards, stripping social services) to a conservative social agenda to get the votes."

@pre@boing.worldEvery single time I've tired to upgrade calckey/firefish there's new dependencies or new build processes or it's grown so much I'm out of memory.

So fuck it, I'm giving up.
